Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My class is an energetic, excited and overwhelmingly enthusiastic group of first graders. They love coming to school and interacting with their peers and teachers. They are a funny, dedicated, and inquisitive group of students who run into the classroom and don't want to leave! They are six and seven-year-old students who need lessons and activities to keep them engaged in learning. Our school is a new school with pre-kindergarten through second-grade students. Our school has a high population of English Language Learners, Special Education students, and students from various cultural backgrounds. Our students need a high level of support for them to learn at their best.
My Project
We host several special family literacy programs to encourage reading and stress how important reading is at home. We host special literacy nights and in class parents as learning partners events. During these events, we ask that children read their leveled books to their parents. This encourages the reading at home which is so valuable to children being successful in school.
My young students need books that are not only on their reading level but that engage them in reading.
When children are engaged in what they are reading, they tend to try harder and be more focused on the book. This is when you see the students be more successful and increase their reading level.
I would like the parents of my young students to see how engaged they are in reading. That is why I am requesting such high interest books. Children love reading Elephant and Piggie, Biscuit, Cam Jansen, Danny the Dinosaur and Puppy Mudge! I believe that when they see how engaged the children are they will read more often at home with them and start to develop a lifelong love of reading!
